Urea is the standout ingredient for rough heels. It both hydrates and softens thickened skin. Lower concentrations (around 10–25%) suit regular dryness; very high concentrations (40% and up) are for thick calluses and should be used carefully.
For best results, apply at night and wear cotton socks to lock in moisture. If you have diabetes or circulation problems, check with a doctor before using strong exfoliating creams.
